My Search for a Legal-Status Adult Gentleman Roommate in Austin, Texas

I have been searching for many months, including through a variety of Craigslist listings I've posted, for a non-smoking male adult roommate for myself in Austin, Texas.

The failure of my search so far for a roommate here in Austin has surprised me, since the traits I am seeking in a roommate strike me as being very minimal and very reasonable:

---A gentleman who is age 18 or older. Eighteen years of age is the minimum age at which anyone can legally room with me inside the very nice and modern apartment complex where I live.

---A gentleman who is himself a nonsmoker.

---A gentleman who does not consume ANY marijuana, ANY marijuana brownies, or any other illicit drugs.

---A gentleman who is polite and considerate and hygienic.

---A responsible gentleman who could himself pass a criminal-background check that's conducted by the first-rate management team at my very nice apartment complex in northwest Austin.

---A gentleman who is not currently on probation for any criminal conviction he has had.

I have emphasized in my posted announcements on the Internet that the gentleman who ends up rooming with me inside my four-room apartment unit (including one total bedroom---a relatively large bedroom, I might add) could cut his monthly living expenses in half that way. I would pay for all utilities, including for cable-television and high-speed Internet service that I'd give my roommate access to. Also, the total share of the rent I am seeking from my roommate would be very minimal (only $300 per month).

I remain hopeful that my search for a roommate will be successful in the very near future.

Among the traits I offer that make me a very good roommate for a gentleman age 18 or older are:

(1) I am dependably friendly and polite.

(2) I am dependably civil, tactfully honest, and law-abiding, and I have no criminal-conviction record.

(3) I am people-friendly and kind, and I'm a former official "Big Brother" and unofficial "Big Brother."

(4) I lead a very quiet and wholesome lifestyle.

(5) I never have any overnight guests inside my apartment unit, and I almost never have any guests or visitors inside my apartment unit.

(6) I can communicate orally in English or Spanish, and, to a lesser extent, in French.

(7) My hobbies and pastimes include tennis, racquetball, roller skating, cooking, creative writing, and public-policy brainstorming.

(An example of my enjoyment of public-policy-brainstorming: This week during my leisuretime, I plan to write to the Texas Department of Agriculture state agency and ask that government agency which steps it has taken to foster the development of commercial avocado farming in Texas.

I plan to write that letter because it's obvious that American society is relying excessively on importation of avocados from Latin American nations. I would like to see a lot more avocados being produced inside the United States.

Texans probably eat more guacamole salad per capita than the residents of any other U.S. state, with the possible exception of California. It would be very logical, then, for Texas to be among the leading U.S. states for commercial avocado farming.

Avocados are so popular in Texas that I myself feel that Guacamole Salad should be designated as the "Official State Salad of Texas", if the Texas Legislature in Austin officially approves that lofty status for Guacamole Salad during the current session of the Legislature.)

---------------------------------------------

On behalf of my search for a roommate in Austin, I have a very favorable signed letter of personal recommendation on my behalf that was written by a gentlemanly adult male visitor from Italy who roomed with me for a total of about eight months in 2000. That letter of recommendation, dated July 5, 2000, stated as follows:

"TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

"This letter is addressed to John K. McMillan's prospective roommates and is based upon my experience of sharing with him the efficiency apartment 101 at 2518 Leon Street, January to July 2000.

"Despite the space constraints, John made my rooming with him amazingly easy thanks to his limitless flexibility. He never stood back from meeting my exigencies and strived hard to create the most comfortable situation for me; among other numerous examples, he generously chose to shake down on the futon he bought himself at his own expense and let me have the bed throughout our cohabitation.

"He has a laid-back, thoughtful and soothing personality; he is ceaselessly polite and leads an unblemished alcohol-free, tobacco-free, illicit-drug-free lifestyle: he is so conscientious as to fully honour any verbalized rejections of himself (by anyone). He is an impressive conversationalist, as well, and his outlooks are accurately thought out, intellectually subtle and anything but mainstream....

"(H)e has been consistently respectful and considerate of my own privacy rights....Furthermore, he has shown no domineering attitude whatsoever, on account of his seniority or of his being the only acknowledged leasee.

"He was out on duty most of the day, because of his unconditional commitment to work, engaging him early in the morning, Monday to Sunday. On many occasions he treated me to dinner and was open to provisionally putting up some guests of mine in our apartment, too.

"I can't help but recommend as roommate such a versatile individual.

"Sincerely Yours,..."

Letter to Editor from Myself that was Banned by 'Austin American-Statesman' and Cox Enterprises Inc. of Atlanta, Georgia

The "Austin American-Statesman" --- a daily newspaper owned and operated by the Atlanta, Georgia-based Cox Enterprises Inc. --- in a recent prior year flatly refused to publish the following "Letter to the Editor" from myself that I wrote and E-mailed to that general-circulation daily newspaper in Austin, Texas, on November 23, 2006:

"As a subscriber to the 'Austin American-Statesman', I would like to thank your daily newspaper for providing me with some invaluable information this month.

"In exchange for the $22 I paid your newspaper in advance to publish my 'special notices' announcement Nov. 16-22 that invited all members of the anti-drug community to contact me, I received zero phone calls.

"I am now zero percent sure that the people of Austin are concerned about illicit drugs in our capital city of Texas.

"Sincerely,

"John Kevin McMillan.
"Austin, Texas."

My Recollections about Massachusetts

Based on my approximately three total years of having resided in the Bay State, the following are my recollections:

(1) I don't ever remember eating any Boston baked beans anywhere in the Boston area.

(2) I never once ate Indian Pudding in Massachusetts, even though that was a favorite traditional pudding among Bay Staters as they celebrate their state's American Indian heritage.

(2) I found it difficult to myself vicariously re-live the American colonists' involvement in the War for Independence from The United Kingdom. "Shouldn't the focus today be on the mutually-cooperative and mutually-beneficial aspects of the current relationship between the United States and United Kingdom?" I wondered. "Why all this emphasis on military conflict between those two nations, when we have been allies to each other ever since the early 20th Century."

(3) I felt a sudden panic one day in 1986 or 1987 after I exited from a subway stop in what I suddenly realized was a predominantly Italian-American section of north Boston. It was the first occasion in my entire life in which I had just entered a heavily Italian-American section of any city; and every step I took along the street in that section of town was filled with apprehension.

I had not planned to get off the subway in that much-rumored-about section of Boston. It was a section of town, I sensed, where law-abiding and polite Anglo-Saxon gentlemen who oppose illicit-drug consumption might be unwelcome. How could I be sure that there were no Mafia lurking in the shadows?, I wondered at the time. "And how can I trust a section of Boston where it appears to be dark outside even in the early afternoon? Isn't that a clue that this section of Boston is riddled with outlaws?"

I did successfully flee from that section of Boston within 15 minutes after I had entered it; and I felt very grateful for having achieved for myself a second chance at life.

It has since occurred to me that I might have felt more confident in that particular section of Boston if I had pursued a crash course in the Italian language before I visited that part of town. If an Italian-American resident of that section of Boston had shouted an Italian-language epithet at me, at least I would have known what to say in response.

My apprehension during my visit to a heavily Italian-American section of Boston was triggered in part by daily reports I had received in 1985 from an Italian-American roommate of mine in Cambridge, Massachusetts. That gentleman in his late teenage years habitually greeted me inside our duplex apartment unit by telling me he was very sure that the Mafia were going to break into our apartment unit and attempt to kill him! Nothing I could say could convince him otherwise; and he repeated his very dramatic concerns to me on numerous occasions.

(4) As I lay in bed late one night in 1985 in my upper-floor Beacon Hill apartment unit, I was suddenly roused from my sleep by rage-filled shouting from two Boston Police officers as they prepared to arrest a male adult criminal-law suspect on the narrow street below my apartment unit. "We're going to teach you," the Boston police officers shouted contemptuously at the suspect, "to never again show your face in Boston!"

(5) The many homeless people in Boston who asked me to please give them some money each seemed to offer elaborate and very lengthy narratives explaining their current plight. Looking back, I have to wonder whether some of those homeless people would have been well-suited to a career as a fiction writer. But it's unlikely that any representative for a book-publishing company in Boston actually approached one of those panhandlers, identified their creative talent, and offered them a lucrative advance on a book-writing project.

(6) My next-door neighbor in Cambridge, Massachusetts, was a self-identified Harvard University professor who habitually greeted me in 1985 by asking me whether I would like to smoke marijuana with himself and his roommate. I repeatedly declined; and it was a point of pride for me, in fact, that I had never been previously addicted to marijuana or any other illicit drug in my entire life, and that I myself had not consumed ANY marijuana on any occasion since 1984.

(7) During a period of 1985 in which I lived in Boston proper, I had a curious phone conversation with a veteran male coworker of mine from "The Patriot Ledger" daily newspaper, who told me on the telephone from his private residence that my copy-desk coworkers at our daily newspaper in the Boston suburb of Quincy all regarded me as being "very strange," he said.

When I asked that copy-editing colleague of mine why my coworkers all regarded me as being "very strange," he replied, "You didn't even know the term 'freebasing cocaine' when you encountered that term in a recent story written by a reporter for our daily newspaper. Everyone else at our copy desk is very familiar with the term 'freebasing cocaine'!"

(7a) In late 1985 or early 1986, a female coworker of mine at "The Patriot Ledger" daily newspaper of Quincy, Massachusetts, invited me to accompany her to a social "party" being hosted by a male friend of hers in north Quincy. She also told me that she felt sure I would enjoy meeting her male friend who was hosting that "party," she said. Upon entering the party host's upper-floor apartment unit with that female coworker of mine, I was immediately informed by the bald male party host that it was a "cocaine party," he stated to me.

The party host, who was consuming cocaine himself, then asked me if I would like to consume some cocaine with him and the other party guests who were also consuming cocaine? I politely declined, and I felt myself to be thoroughly and comprehensively alienated from that entire scene. A few minutes later I left that party alone. I did that because my female coworker from "The Patriot Ledger" daily newspaper told me that she would like to stay at the party and would make arrangements on her own to herself leave the party at a later time.

(8) Coworkers at my "Patriot Ledger" copy desk in 1985 developed a habit of flashing messages that appeared on the top of our computer screen throughout our entire newsroom that repeatedly dubbed me as "The Reverend." Looking back, that may have signified the awareness by several coworkers of mine at that South Shore-based daily newspaper that I myself was consistently law-abiding and civil, and I did NOT consume any cocaine or ANY marijuana, and I myself almost NEVER consumed any alcohol, either.

(9) A male adult Russian Studies instructor from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts, accompanied me one day in 1985 on a tour of the newsroom of "The Patriot Ledger" daily newspaper in downtown Quincy---a newspaper where I was employed at that time as a full-time copy editor. The M.I.T. instructor commented to me minutes later that "You remind me of a Jewish dissident inside the Soviet Union! You are obviously being persecuted in Quincy just like how the Jewish dissidents of the Soviet Union are being persecuted!"

I myself am not Jewish, and I have never been a subscriber of Judaism, nor have I ever been affiliated in any way with any Jewish group or any Jewish congregation at any time in my entire life.

(10) In 1986 while I was living in Quincy, Massachusetts, I received a surprisingly worded two-sentence post card in the mail from a fiction writer based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. "It seems that nothing in the Boston area has escaped your attention!" he wrote in that apparently appreciative postcard addressed to myself.

The postcard message did not explain why a Minneapolis-based fiction writer would have any knowledge about the circumstances I myself had myself encountered in the Boston area of Massachusetts---a New England state situated thousands of miles from his own state of Minnesota.

(11) A polite female adult coworker of mine at an Office of Real Property state agency temp job for myself in Boston, Massachusetts, stated to me one day in 1986 or 1987 at our workplace that "You must be a Holy Man, since the hole underneath your shoe indicates that!"


(12) In May of 1987, during a period in which I resided in the downtown area of Quincy, Massachusetts, I was very abruptly and without prior warning of any type subjected to continuous and uninterrupted media "services" I had not requested, including inside my apartment unit and at my respective temp-job workplaces in Boston and north Quincy. Those "media services" featured the continuous sounds of "anonymous voices" in the background that repeatedly and incessantly shouted at me the emphatic message, "Eric Schwarz is superior to you in every respect but one---humor writing!".

"Die (sic) before your complement!", the "anonymous voices" involving sophisticated media technology in the background also repeatedly shouted at me in Quincy, Massachusetts, without their ever explaining to me at any time WHY they would seek to harm me or undermine my own medical longevity or my own medical health in any way.

"I have no sympathy for you!" a male-sounding voice shouted at me with surprising antipathy and surprising anger in his tone of voice through anonymous communications that that individual in the background verbalized to me in a context that was heard by me inside my rental apartment unit in central Quincy, Massachusetts, on the very first day in May 1987 when the voices began.

Those "anonymous voices" in Quincy, Mass., and elsewhere in the Boston area pf Massachusetts also incessantly subjected me to verbalized messages I did not want which referred repeatedly (with no cited reason for any of those statements) to three or more specifically cited respective University of Texas at Austin instructors, whose names I would myself be happy to share with any law-enforcement agency that might ever seek to investigate the matter at any time. I will be more than happy to remind that law-enforcement agency that NO instructor at the University of Texas at Austin has ever been authorized by me to violate my own privacy rights or impinge on my own privacy rights or meddle in my own life in any way, nor has any UT-Austin instructor ever been authorized by me to subject me to anonymous communications in any context or at any time.

Those "anonymous voices" also incessantly subjected me to the verbalized message I heard on a continuous basis that "You're undergoing a breakdown of your former personality!".

It was never clear to me WHICH PERSON OR WHICH PERSONS were verbalizing those and other messages to myself during that time period, or why anyone was expressing criticism of, or a lack of full appreciation for, my own personality or values as a human being.

I was aware of being among the most civil and law-abiding of all of the single adult non-Christian gentlemen in the Boston area. I never consumed any marijuana or any other illicit drug, and I almost never consumed any alcohol during that entire multi-year time period in which I lived in the Boston area. Also, I had not physically assaulted or physically beaten any other person anywhere in the Boston area; and I had no criminal-conviction record. Also, I never verbalized profane speech to any other resident of the entire Boston area; and I never stated to any other Boston-area resident at any time that I myself sought to "harm" or injure himself in any way.

(13) In 1992, during a period in which I worked and resided in the Zapata area of Texas, and I made a long-distance phone call from my rental trailer apartment to the private residence of an adult female former schoolmate of mine living in the District of Columbia, she volunteered to me in that phone conversation that "Massachusetts is a gallingly provincial state!" (approximate quote).
That female former schoolmate of mine did not elaborate on her observation in any way, and she did not indicate whether that comment she had volunteered to me on the telephone related in any way to any conduct toward myself, in particular, by any person or group of persons or entity or business or government-owned institution based in Massachusetts.

(14) In 1996, a medical physician serving as my primary-care physician during that time period in which I resided and worked for a general-circulation local newspaper in Denver City, Texas, surprised me during a medical appointment for me inside his medical clinic in Denver City by indicating to me that the people of Massachusetts were notorious for their lack of niceness, in his stated view.

"When I was stationed with the U.S. Navy on an island near New Hampshire, virtually everyone in New Hampshire was labeling the people of Massachusetts as 'Massholes,'" that medical physician emphatically stated to me on his own volition. That physician, Dr. Cotton, had been providing me with medical-care services in 1996 for what had been diagnosed a year before as bronchitis-pneumonia, a medical problem I had reportedly sustained very abruptly in 1995 in Baytown, Texas, during a period when I was a reporter for "The Baytown Sun" general-circulation daily newspaper.

(15) In 1994 or 1995, I made a local pay telephone phone call from a pay phone situated near Airport Boulevard in east Austin to the private residence of a former classmate of mine from Stephen F. Austin High School in Austin, Texas, who had herself expressed an affinity toward me in prior years. "I recommend that you stay away from Massachusetts," that kindly Austin-based Jewish lady who was also an attorney member of the State Bar of Texas state agency, advised me that day.

(16) In 2007 or 2008, a single adult gentleman and full-time State Government of Texas employee who was dining with me that evening inside a Schlotzky's sandwich shop in northwest Austin, surprised me during our conversation by emphatically stating to me that in his opinion, "the entire state of Massachusetts" had been guilty of alleged corruption and alleged complicity in alleged crime and allegedly injurious conduct in some context that had significantly wronged and victimized myself, that off-duty State of Texas employee emphatically stated to me.

(17) In 2009 or 2008, the subject of Massachusetts arose again for me in Austin, Texas, during a meeting I had with an attorney member of the State Bar of Texas. It was a two-person law-office meeting during which I paid a $20 consultation fee through a signed personal check I handed to that private attorney that same day inside his law office in northwest Austin. I had been referred to that family-law attorney by the Central Texas Lawyer Referral Service, which provides legal referrals to any and all Central Texans requesting referrals to an attorney for a cited legal issue.

That Austin-based attorney surprised me by stating inside his law office in northwest Austin that I had an apparent need to myself contact a private attorney in Quincy, Massachusetts, and myself file a lawsuit on my own behalf in a court of law inside the state of Massachusetts, that attorney emphasized to me.

The State Bar of Texas member attorney also emphasized to me during our first-time meeting inside his law office that since he himself did not have certification to practice the law in Massachusetts, he could not assist me in regard to privacy-rights concerns of mine relating to alleged violations of my own privacy rights that had developed for me in Quincy, Massachusetts, beginning in May of 1987.

Pet Peeves of Mine

My own pet peeves include the following:

(1) I am dismayed by the customary practice of many American architects of their placing water fountains in public office buildings within a few feet from the front door to a men's restroom or a ladies' restroom.
I find it very unpleasant to be drinking water from a water fountain while pondering the proximity of that water fountain to a public restroom where other human beings are actually urinating or defecating. When I am drinking water, I don't want to be asking myself whether I can be perfectly sure that the water I am drinking is completely free of any urine or feces.

(2) I am dismayed by the "modern tradition" of many American store clerks in which they respond to a polite "thank you" from a customer by immediately replying, "No problem." Often the store clerk does not even smile at the customer when the store clerk mumbles "no problem" to that customer.
The lack of graciousness and the lack of hospitality in that widely-uttered phrase is sobering to the point of unnerving.
Does a customer enter a retail establishment primarily to obtain information from the store clerk as to whether that customer is himself posing an "inconvenience" or a "problem" or a "nuisance" for that store clerk? I would hope not!

(3) I am dismayed by the many Americans who choose to greet the "New Year" on January 1 by contracting a hangover and lying in bed with intense pain.
They made that choice by agreeing to consume an excessive amount of alcohol on New Year's Eve.
Does it make sense to usher in the New Year by inflicting a severe headache and dizziness and nausea on yourself?
Does it make sense to be so tormented by a hangover on New Year's Day that you are not feeling sociable and friendly toward the friends and relatives of yours with whom you would have agreed in advance to share a New Year's Day meal and delightedly celebrate January 1?

(4) I am dismayed by the growing tendency of many Americans to rationalize their own deplorably illicit addiction to marijuana by declaring that "I only consume marijuana for medical reasons. I never consume marijuana in order to be frivolous or silly or outrageous or hedonistic or self-destructive or defiant of the law."

I can offer several responses to the Americans who claim to be "medical-marijuana-only" consumers of cannibis:

(a) The odds are high that the city or U.S. state where you reside has NOT, in fact, legalized any consumption of marijuana for citedly "medical" reasons. You are therefore breaking the law and committing a crime whenever you purchase or possess or consume any quantity of marijuana.

(b) Even if you do live in a U.S. state such as California that reportedly permits some individuals to consume so-called "medical marijuana", that legal right is only extended to residents of that state who formally obtained prior authorization from the government.

It is also my understanding that the government is generally limiting that type of "medical-marijuana patient certification" to persons who have been officially diagnosed as terminally ill---persons, in other words, who are suffering from an incurable and fatal disease.

(c) Even if you have been diagnosed with an incurable and fatal disease, you can consult OTHER medical doctors to determine whether ANY of them do NOT agree with the diagnosis and prognosis given to you by the medical doctor or doctors who labeled you as "terminally ill.

Your seeking a third and fourth and fifth opinion from a variety of medical experts could help you to save your own life and enjoy a full medical longevity.

(d) Even if all doctors whom you consult all agree that the disease you have is incurable and very painful as well as fatal to yourself, you can still pursue factual research to identify the full range of law-abiding natural options for pain-relievers that you can take.

It may well be that there are numerous natural pain-relievers that are perfectly legal everywhere in the U.S. and Canada and other nations, and that will not give you any of the adverse side-effects that ingesting the so-called "medical marijuana" would have inflicted on you.

(e) Even if you reside in a U.S. state that has officially given you advance specific written authorization for "medical marijuana" consumption by yourself, you should keep in mind that if you travel from your own state of California, for instance, to a state such as Utah---where any and all marijuana consumption is illegal----you are at dire risk of being arrested by a law-enforcement officer in Utah.

That very grim and degrading scenario could easily occur for you if you continue your
ill-advised marijuana consumption inside a hotel where you are renting a room in Utah.

Questions that Could Stump Congressmen and U.S. Senators

Among the questions I would like to see being politely posed to United States Congressmen and United States Senators are the following:

---Shouldn't unemployed people in the United States be given employment opportunities involving the clean-up of the hundreds of heavily-polluted lakes and rivers in this country?

---What would you tell the children of the United States of today who point out to you that they have observed that many of the manufactured materials in this country that could be recycled are, instead, merely being tossed into the trash can?

---What would you tell the children of this country who say they feel betrayed by adult Americans who squander natural resources and recyclable items that American children in future decades of their lives could themselves have made use of?

---Could you estimate for me the percentage of your constituents who are currently addicted to marijuana or some other illicit drug?

---As a member of the U.S. Congress, do you feel honorbound to yourself establish a public-policy-minded dialogue with constituents of yours who are currently addicted to marijuana or some other illicit drug? What insights have you gleaned from any such dialogues you have pursued on behalf of the U.S. Congress?

---Have you recently arranged for a special ceremony to publicly honor the most outstanding of the law-abiding and privacy-respectful drug-treatment counselors and alcohol-treatment counselors who reside in your district or state?

---Do you believe the federal government should order the permanent closing of any house of worship or religious organization in the United States that at any time in the 21st Century has served as a spawning ground for violent acts of terrorism directly victimizing American citizens?

---Do you believe the Freedom of Religion clause of the Bill of Rights should be revised to clarify the point that any religious group that directly sponsors or serves as a spawning ground for violent acts of terrorism against American citizens can and should be permanently closed down by government order.

---Do you believe you have a moral obligation as a duly elected member of the U.S. Congress to urge each of your constituents to help combat terrorism in the Middle East by choosing to themselves never purchase or consume any illicit drug. I raise this question because it's my understanding that the purchase of illicit drugs and addiction to illicit drugs by millions of Americans of today is directly and indirectly financing acts of violence by Arab terrorists.

---In your role as an honorable member of the U.S. Congress, are you completely sure that neither Russia nor China has secretly financed or aided and abetted ANY of the acts of violence by Arab terrorists in the Middle East? Do you believe that the U.S. Congress has obtained enough information to determine for certain whether any such possible surreptitious or complicitous role by Russia or China toward Arab terrorism has existed in the Middle East.

---Do you believe that you as a member of the United States Congress have a moral obligation to routinely and automatically and discreetly turn over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation noteworthy legal evidence you are privy to which indicates that a congressional colleague of yours may have allegedly violated the law and has possibly committed an alleged felony crime in the process.

---Would you like to see the United States Department of Agriculture offer special incentive grants aimed at promoting establishment or expansion of an avocado-farming industry in a variety of U.S. states, including in California and Texas. I raise this question partly because the avocado, as you must be very aware, has been classified by many as a "miracle food" that's very good for the health of those human beings who eat avocados.

---Do you see a need for additional government-sponsored research on the social psychology of terrorism? For instance, do you subscribe to the view that violent terrorists in the Middle East and elsewhere are human beings who turned violent after they perceived that they themselves had been terrorized by others?

---Do you believe the federal government should do anything to help reduce the total number of tattoo parlors in the United States?

---Do you believe that law-abiding and peace-loving Arab-Americans have been adequately consulted by the U.S. Congress and the U.S. Government as our nation attempts to find solutions to the Arab-terrorism crisis besetting our nation and world.

--Do you believe that the Congressional office in charge of budgetary analysis should publicize to our entire nation a special E-mail address or post-office-box address to which Americans throughout this country could be invited to submit any and all ideas they'd like to share on how the U.S. Congress could significantly reduce the current budgetary deficit?

---Do you support the establishment of a proposed new Congressional Subcommittee on Unemployment and Underemployment that invites numerous experts on unemployment and many unemployed persons to give testimony at public hearings to be held by that subcommittee in Washington, D.C.

--Have you yourself totaled up all the total combined number of years in which the United States Armed Forces have been actively involved in military interventions or engaged in military conflicts in foreign nations during the entire multi-decade period since the conclusion of World War II? Have you compared that total number of years with the total combined number of years in which the United States Armed Forces have NOT been involved in military interventions or engaged in military conflicts in foreign nations.

Need for 'Mea Culpa' Clause in Modern American Last Will and Testaments

I would like to respectfully suggest that Americans writing their own last will and testament in the 21st Century should at least consider possibly adding a "Mea Culpa" clause to that legal document on their own behalf.

In that brief section of their last will and testament, conscientious Americans of the modern era ---myself among them --- might choose at some future date to freely and strictly on their own volition cite one person from their life whom those Americans each believe they wronged at some point during their lifetime.

As an alternative, many Americans might choose to add a polite "Mea Culpa" chapter or appendix to the memoirs that they write and have published during their retirement years.

That posthumous expression of empathy and appreciation toward the cited individual, could be very helpful to him or his younger friends or younger relatives, and could boost his or their morale and self-confidence.

In most cases, conscientious Americans who at some future date decide to add a "Mea Culpa" clause to their last will and testament may choose to simply offer a polite posthumous written acknowledgement to a cited recipient of that belated apology---with no financial amount and no property from the estate of the deceased being bequeathed to that individual.

The "Mea Culpa" clause in modern wills and testaments from Americans might possibly be worded as follows:

"I feel that I significantly wronged that individual during my lifetime. While I never chose to become a personal friend or associate of his at any time during my lifetime, which would have given me the opportunity to generously befriend him in either context, I have concluded with hindsight that he is very benevolent and honorable, and worthy of being befriended by me through this written apology from myself in this last will and testament."

Among the many types of possible questions that many Americans might ask themselves as they attempt to identify which individual from their own life, if any, they might freely choose to provide a "Mea Culpa" clause written apology to in their own last will and testament, are:

---Did I repeatedly and over a multi-year or multi-decade period refuse to fully honor a verbalized rejection of myself by another human being?

---Did I repeatedly verbalize threats to another human being by stating that his own very permanent and irrevocable rejection of myself would result in his suffering an "unfavorable afterlife in which you may end up in Hell because of this unresolved conflict with myself".

---Did I pursue any actions aimed at punishing or restricting another adult human being for having values and beliefs and interests and affinities and priorities that were comprehensively very different from, and very incompatible with, my own values and beliefs and interests and affinities and priorities.

----Did I pursue any actions that were unfairly vindictive or excessively punitive in nature toward someone who had significantly offended me?

---Did I repeatedly state to a lifelong non-Christian gentleman that his choice to be a non-Christian gentleman on a lifelong basis meant that he would be "going to Hell" after he dies.

---Did I exhibit a very possessive or proprietary style toward an individual whom I myself never praised in any noteworthy manner on any occasion, and whom I had, in fact, repeatedly insulted and offended on a frequent basis.

---Did I repeatedly attempt to pressure someone who was, in fact, physically and personally repulsed by myself, to give into my demand that that individual be in a "sexual relationship" or "romantic relationship" with myself?

---Did I attempt to control and restrict someone who was, in fact, a consistently civil and law-abiding individual?

---Did I repeatedly trigger massive weight gain and increased anxiety and artificially elevated blood pressure in that individual by repeatedly and incessantly subjecting him to erroneous warnings to the effect that he was somehow "required" or "forced" to have an involvement of ANY type with ANY of the cited persons whom he had already permanently rejected on an individual basis from his own life.

---Did I decline to cite to that individual the specific name of a private attorney whom I knew to be reputable and first-rate, and who through litigation on that individual's own behalf might have been able to significantly help that individual to improve his own quality of life and living conditions and privacy rights?

---Did I myself knowingly withhold from that individual pertinent and useful factual information I was privy to that could have helped him significantly?

----Did I emphatically advise a cited "friend" of mine that I strongly believe he should discontinue his individual health insurance policy and go without any health insurance as a way of "saving money" during that time period, in my stated opinion.

---Did I ever emphatically state to another human being that I was completely sure that he definitely was NOT being stalked by any other person, even though I myself had no factual basis for making any such statement to the individual in question.

---Did I ever emphasize to another human being on the telephone that I was completely sure that NONE of the persons whom he had ever met or been acquainted with in any prior year of his life would like to have or seeks to have any further involvement with himself.

---Did I ever at any time subject someone to mental cruelty in regard to mysterious and challenging circumstances he was encountering in his own life, by myself volunteering to him, "If you would ask me the right question about your own circumstances, I will tell you the information you need.

---Did I myself repeatedly state to any acquaintance of mine in 1988 in Austin, Texas, that the complaints he repeatedly verbalized to me on the telephone about alleged violations of his own privacy rights in Austin, Texas, were "matters that are beyond the scope of what the American legal system can ever address....It would be pointless for you to contact an attorney about this, since you can't file a lawsuit against yourself!"

---Did I ever trigger considerable emotional duress in an acquaintance of mine by angrily and in an accusatory voice asking him on the telephone in 1994, during a long-distance phone call he made to my home in Austin, Texas, from his daily newspaper workplace in Snyder, Texas: "I find it galling in the extreme that you somehow gave legal authority to a person who disliked you intensely even during your childhood!", without myself ever at any time volunteering the name of that cited individual.

---Did I myself ever have criminal-law evidence I'd obtained or been privy to about one or more persons allegedly seeking to harm or allegedly seeking to murder a law-abiding single adult male person in Texas, without my ever choosing to contact the Austin Police Department, the Travis County Sheriff's Office in Austin, Texas, the Travis County County Attorney's Office in Austin, Texas; the Travis County District Attorney's Office in Austin, Texas; the Texas Department of Public Safety in Austin, Teas; the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Department of Justice, or the Federal Communications Commission, and myself share with that government agency the tentative criminal-law evidence I'd obtained relating to alleged violations of the legal rights of the law-abiding single adult male person in question.

---Did I as a Harvard University alumnus ever significantly demoralize a 27-year-old gentleman a and newcomer to Massachusetts by stating to him in person with angry exasperation during my first-ever meeting with him inside my mother's home in Auburn, Massachusetts: "I'm dismayed by how little you have accomplished in your own life!

---Did I ever significantly demoralize an aspiring single male adult writer in Worcester, Massachusetts, by stating to that acquaintance of mine in 1984 that "I think you're the type of writer who is more noteworthy for being WRITTEN ABOUT, than for any writing of your own that you will ever accomplish. You remind me of the English writer Virginia Woolf in that way, since she is better known for having been written about by others than she is for her own writing."

You claim to have suffered from particularly stressful circumstances involving alleged verbal harassment of yourself that allegedly triggered massive weight gains in you here in Texas. However, it's a simple fact of life that most people gain lots of weight as they get older. It's unlikely you will ever be able to lose the weight you have gained in Texas during this period, since most people find it very difficult to lose weight as they get older."

----Did I as City Manager of Austin in the late 1990s habitually glare with sharp antipathy or hatred toward a scheduled "Citizen Participation" male adult speaker waiting to speak in person at an Austin City Council meeting, even though he himself had never made any unkind comment to me at any time, and he himself had never glared at me or looked at me with sharp antipathy or hatred at any time.

---Did I ever verbalize to others a deliberate and flagrant misquotation of the beliefs or thoughts of another person?

---Did I myself state in 1995 to a full-time reporter whom I directly supervised at my daily newspaper in Baytown, Texas, that he himself had only minimal writing talent, and that all of his coworkers at "The Baytown Sun" were much better writers than he himself was.

---Did I ever knowingly withhold from a law-abiding gentleman factual information about how he could himself obtain immediate access to all of the "lifelong cumulative financial savings" I told that individual that he had, in fact, accrued in one or more financial institutions over the course of his entire life.

---Did I ever attempt to artificially inflict financial deprivation on a law-abiding and talented and creative single adult person during a multi-year period in which I myself permitted associates of mine or friends of mine to incessantly taunt that individual with the repeatedly verbalized "advice" that he would be "expected" to "pursue an illicit career in sexual prostitution," or words to that effect.

---Did I ever attempt to artificially inflict severe financial deprivation on a law-abiding and talented and intelligent single adult person during a multi-month or multi-year time period in which I repeatedly advised him, or I repeatedly sponsored advice to him from others, that "your own poverty means you cannot support yourself on your own, so you must agree to the demands of an affluent older person that you reside with that older person as his or her 'live-in servant'."

---Did I ever at any time state to ANY adult person that "because you yourself are very incompatible with the gay-rights movement and the gay subculture, and you are also very incompatible with the bisexual male adult subculture, the effeminate-male-adult subculture, the lesbian subculture, and the transsexual subculture, this means that you therefore have no right to live on this planet. Your incompatibility with those four subcultures means that you have forfeited the legal right to continue dwelling on this planet, since you are yourself at the mercy of each of those cited subcultures that you are significantly incompatible with."

---Did I as a pediatric medical physician in Maryland state to an acquaintance of mine during a long-distance phone call he made to my private residence in Maryland in 1991 or 1990 from his private apartment unit in Sweetwater, Texas: "All the published medical journal articles I've read about your case clearly indicate that you are mentally ill.

---Did I ever respond to a 1992 long-distance phone call to my magazine office in Austin, Texas, from a newspaper journalist in Zapata, Texas, who indicated that he needed additional factual information about baffling and injurious aspects of his own "living conditions" during that period in 1992, by myself observing to the male adult caller: "Ignorance can be a blessing," without my ever elaborating on that at any time.

---Did I ever state in 1994 to an acquaintance of mine during a long-distance phone call he made to my home in Austin, Texas, from his daily-newspaper workplace in Snyder, Texas: "Every time that you yourself criticize a cited person through your internal thought process or through your private journal entries and comments you verbalize to yourself or anyone else, what you are doing is comparable to giving money away to each of the persons you are yourself having critical thoughts about. So if you stop criticizing each of those persons, this is the best way for you to avoid ever making any additional payments of money to those persons."

---Did I myself ever in 1993 or late 1992 volunteer to an acquaintance of mine during a long-distance phone call he made at his own financial expense to my home in Austin, Texas, from his daily newspaper office workplace in Pampa, Texas: "You have a golden opportunity in Pampa, Texas, to yourself PRETEND that you are a prosecuting attorney in the Panhandle region of our state.

---Did I as an Austin-based private attorney member of the State Bar of Texas state agency of the State Government of Texas ever volunteer on my own initiative in 1997 inside my law office in downtown Austin to a single adult male client of mine, that the persons allegedly harassing him in Austin, Texas, were allegedly "relatives" (exact or near-exact quote) of his, without ANY names of any such person being cited by me when I offered that in-person oral evaluation inside my law firm office as to the alleged source of the harassment of my legal-services client of mine during that time period in Austin, Texas-----this without my ever clearly specifying exactly what I meant by the term 'relatives' in that particular context-----only to myself later retract as 'incorrect' the previous stress-inducing oral statement of mine through a subsequent follow-up signed official legal letter to that client of mine who himself paid me more than $1,000 in legal-consultation and legal-services fees during that multi-month period of the late 1990s.

----Did I myself ever advise a cited friend or cited friendly acquaintance of mine who was himself law-abiding that he should move to a city of the world where sexual prostitution involving the payment of money to sexual prostitutes is legal, with myself possibly citing either a county in Nevada where prostitution is legal, or Amsterdam in The Netherlands, as being a place to which I recommended that he move or relocate.

---Did I as a male adult junior-high school instructor at O. Henry Junior High School of Austin Independent School District in Austin, Texas, emphatically and loudly declare to a 13-year-old or 14-year-old male student of mine during homeroom period for himself in 1970 or 1971: "If you get any fatter, they (sic) will have to take you out and butcher you!"

So it is best not to openly and honestly state your own complaints about your circumstances, as the statements you make during this period of your life can be used against you by others even after the voices end."

San Francisco is where your father and mother got married inside a Swedenborgian church in that northern Californian city. So San Francisco, for our family, has always been synonymous with the theme of romantic love. So perhaps these voices you're hearing in Pampa, Texas, are merely indicating that they hope you have a successful romantic life."

---Did I myself emphatically advise an acquaintance of mine in 1994, during a long-distance phone call he made to my home in Austin, Texas, from a pay telephone in Kermit, Texas, where he resided at that time, "You have no need to spend any money in order to place ANY personals ads in any newspaper or magazine in your quest for a mutual-consent romantic relationship.

---Did I emphatically advise an acquaintance of mine in 1990 or 1991, during a long-distance phone call he made from his rental apartment in Sweetwater, Texas, to my private home in Maryland, that "I would urge you to NEVER visit Mexico or any other foreign nation during this period. If you visit a foreign country during this period, the authorities there are likely to apprehend you and put you in a mental institution where you might get stuck for a long time. You are much safer in the United States, from that standpoint, since you have more legal protection against that type of very grim scenario here in the United States."

---Did I emphatically state to an acquaintance of mine in 1991, during a period in which he resided in Cuero, Texas, and made a long-distance phone call to my home in Austin, Texas: "You misunderstood me before when you thought I had indicated to you that if you consult a private attorney in Texas, the actions he pursues on your behalf won't be what you had directly requested of him. What I instead meant to suggest is that whenever you consult a private attorney here in Texas, the consequences or repercussions for yourself from the legal actions he pursues on your behalf based on your directly stated goals and wishes that you verbalize to an attorney, will be consequences and repercussions for you that are VERY DIFFERENT from what you had anticipated."

---Did I as story-assignments editor for "Texas Monthly" state on the telephone to a single male adult aspiring journalist in Austin, Texas, that "it was outside interference (exact quote) that prevented us at 'Texas Monthly" from using ANY of the dozens of story ideas you recently wrote up and mailed to us," without myself ever once stating to that male adult acquaintance of mine WHO or WHAT The source of the cited "outside interference" was.

--Did I as a University of Minnesota Math Department full-time clerical employee and fiction writer residing in Minneapolis, Minnesota, repeatedly and emphatically volunteer on the telephone in 1984 and 1985 to an acquaintance of mine who made long-distance phone calls in 1984 and 1985 to my private residence in Minneapolis from his own cities of residence of Worcester and Boston, respectively, in Massachusetts: "The people of Worcester, Massachusetts, come across as being very strange, with lots of insanity on their part; you should return to Minnesota, where the people are more normal and there's less insanity per-capita in this state"; and, later, "the people of the Boston area are mean-spirited (exact quote) toward you; you should return to Minnesota, where the people are mellow and not mean-spirited toward you."

---Did I as a female student at Stephen F. Austin High School of Austin Independent School District in Austin, Texas, in 1973 or 1974 write and read aloud at a debate-club party an ostensibly "humorous" fictional or semi-fictional account in which I predicted that a cited male member of my high school debate club would himself someday as an adult American be living in severe financial poverty and forced to rely on food stamps in order to obtain any food for himself and his household, with the cited "context" for my "humorous piece" being that the nationwide high school debate resolution that school year was in favor of the federal government providing a guaranteed minimal annual personal income for all Americans.

---Did I during my high school years as a male student at Stephen F. Austin High School of Austin Independent School District write and then read aloud in April 1974, inside the Marimont Cafeteria along Barton Springs Boulevard near downtown Austin, a poem "birthday tribute" to a cited male schoolmate and debate squad colleague of mine in which I myself emphasized in the text of my poem: "Many have speculated about his expected demise. But that is risky grounds on which to theorize, since something that never existed CANNOT DIE."

---Did I repeatedly and emphatically state to an acquaintance of mine inside my home in Westlake Hills, Texas, that I did not acknowledge his asserted legal right to himself have a new and fully independent religion of his own that was not affiliated with any other religious group or religious denomination, and that "I will always regard you as being a Unitarian, regardless of what you yourself say."

----Did I as a high-ranking official of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia in the 21st Century write and mail to a single adult gentleman in Austin, Texas, a signed reply letter on official University of Pennsylvania stationery in which I stated to that individual that he should refrain from ever again describing or referring to "your personal problems" in any future letters or E-mail correspondence that he himself writes and sends to anyone employed at my Ivy League school in Pennsylvania.

---Did I myself confidently state to a cited friend of mine during a long-distance phone call he made to my home in Maryland from his city of residence of Palestine, Texas, in 1996 or 1997: "If you develop a sexual relationship with another human being, that could end the voices!"

---Did I myself write a signed handwritten personal letter in 1997 from Maryland to a cited "friend" of mine residing in Austin, Texas, in which I emphatically advised him, "If there is some individual in the background who is so bored with his own life that he has been meddling in your own life, and you actually identify who that person is, by all means reject that individual!", without myself ever once volunteering to that cited "friend" of mine the name or names of any persons whom I suspected of "meddling" in his own life in any way.

Austin High School of Austin Independent School District in Austin, Texas, when I myself stated in the early 21st Century to that former classmate of mine inside a University Federal Credit Union facility in northwest Austin, "I don't know ANYTHING about your circumstances or living conditions in Austin, other than what my parents have told me about."

---Did I ever at any time in 2000 state in person to an acquaintance of mine in Austin, Texas, with whom I was sharing an apartment at the time, that it did appear from I could myself see that there appeared to be a very suspicious and mysterious sizable air pocket in his abdomen or stomach area that, I agreed, appeared to NOT be adipose tissue, with myself indicating to that acquaintance that possibly there had been some alleged possible medical fraud or "foul play" by a person unbeknownst to myself involved that might account for that artificially inflated abdomen to his own belly.

---Did I as a female married woman in Austin, Texas, volunteer to a single male adult visitor to my and my husband's home in east Austin in 1997 that "an injustice (exact quote) has been done to you, and the private attorney in Austin you've consulted this week will help you," without my ever once citing on any occasion to that single male adult acquaintance of mine any specific example of any specific "injustice" that had been inflicted on that personal acquaintance of mine.

---Did I as a private attorney in the Panhandle region of Texas state in early 1997 during a long-distance phone conversation I had with a recent former client of mine who called my law office in Pampa, Texas, at his own expense from his daily-newspaper workplace in Palestine, Texas, "There may possibly be some person accounting for outside interference in your own life. However, I as an attorney member of the State Bar of Texas have not been able to ascertain WHO the source of that outside interference is.

---Did I mislead a male adult acquaintance or male adult relative of mine by volunteering to him on the telephone in 1990, during a long-distance phone call he made to my home in Westlake Hills, Texas, from his duplex rental apartment unit in Big Spring, Texas: "I already know how this is going to turn out, so I'm not worried about it," with my disclosure in that phone call failing to cite to that male adult acquaintance or younger relative of mine the specific name of the individual who allegedly was meddling in the life of that male adult acquaintance or younger relative of mine during that period.

----Did I mislead a male adult acquaintance of mine in 1997 by volunteering to him on the telephone in 1997, during a local phone call he made from a pay telephone at his UT-Austin-area apartment complex along Salado Street to my home in Austin, Texas: "The project (exact wording) is winding down, and should be over very soon....", with myself thereby acknowledging to that male adult acquaintance of mine that he was, in fact, being subjected to unwanted manipulations of his own living conditions and unwanted violations of his own privacy rights during that period.

---Did I as an employee of a non-Christian religious congregation in Austin, Texas, in 2001 or 2002 firmly decline to listen to an oral complaint about alleged verbal harassment of himself that a law-abiding single adult gentleman employed as a temp employee at Northwest Life Insurance company in Austin, Texas,. had himself chosen to share with me on the telephone during a work break from his temp job in 2001 or 2002, with myself emphatically stating at that time to that civil and honest gentleman: "Please, don't go on with it!"

---Did I as an adult male acquaintance of a single adult gentleman in Texas repeatedly criticize that individual on the telephone over a multi-year period by myself stating to that individual with no specific context to my repeated reprimands of himself on the telephone in the late 1980s and 1990s during his period of residence and employment in numerous cities and towns of Texas: "You seem to proceed on the assumption that because you believe you have been wronged by someone, you are entitled to financial compensation to yourself. In fact, your attitude of having this sense of entitlement to financial compensation to yourself is offensive to myself and many others."

--Did I as an editor or staff member of "The Big Spring Herald" daily newspaper in Big Spring, Texas, choose in late 1989 to myself consume marijuana along with several or more colleagues of mine during a work-related "party" I myself hosted or attended in late 1989 inside a private residence in Big Spring, Texas, a party that occurred a matter of hours after and the very same day that one of the invited guests who attended that party, a law-abiding single adult gentleman non-smoker, had himself been interviewed for a full-time reporting job inside my general-circulation daily newspaper office in Big Spring, Texas (a newspaper owned by a media company headquartered in Canada).

---Did I as a government official or public official in Texas refuse to insist on a full government-sponsored investigation of circumstances in Texas that pervasively had violated the privacy rights and permanently as well as significantly harmed the hearing capacity of a law-abiding single adult gentleman in Texas.
